The internet has revolutionized the way we socialize, and as a consequence the way to love. The new communication technologies have facilitated intercultural relationships. Nowadays family relations are one of the major factors in immigration to European countries. Family relations means persons who arrive as family dependents and in accordance with laws regulating family reunification. This thesis aims to apply the classical assimilation theory stated by Milton Gordon (1964), which formulates a series of assimilation stages through which an individual must pass in order to be completely assimilated. In accordance with this theory, marriage is the final phase for a newcomer to fully incorporate into the host society. Thus, based on this presumption and other contemporary theories, the present study has analysed how women who get involved in intercultural marriages based on internet meeting experience these assimilation stages and evaluated the resources used by respondents to incorporate themselves into Swedish society.The main goal of the study was to determine if jumping to the last stage of assimilation does assure the incorporation in the social or/and labour spheres and the findings demonstrate that even though husbands are a valuable resource for assimilation, several cultural issues in Swedish society make it difficult to assure success for the newcomers.On the other hand, Sweden is a country with a strong national sentiment and the assimilation of immigrants still is an important issue to deal with. The Swedish Integration Board has disappeared and major projects for integration have been left in the hands of the municipalities or the Migration Board, institutions that still do not know how to deal with this dilemma.

Uppsatsen handlar om arrangerade äktenskap och kärleksäktenskap i storstadsmiljö i dagens Turkiet. Den belyser främst hur ett äktenskapsarrangemang går till och huruvida inflyttningen från landsbygd till städer har påverkat dem. Jag använder mig av ett inifrånperspektiv genom att intervjua turkiska kvinnor men gör även kopplingar till artiklar som belyser just moderniseringens effekter på äktenskapsformer. / This essay is about marriages in an urban setting in contemporary Turkey. It exemplifies how a marriage arrangement is done and whether the migration into cities from the country has influenced them. I will mainly give an insider perspective by interviewing Turkish women but the essay also relates to articles about modernization’s effects on marriage forms.

Where parties are married in community of property, debts are incurred by the parties and not by the joint estate. Each spouse is liable for debt incurred by either spouse. A creditor is, therefore, entitled to claim from joint estate of both spouses (as co debtors). Such an estate includes not only the spouse's undivided interest in the joint estate but also any and all separate property that falls outside the joint estate. Once the joint estate is sequestrated, both spouses become "insolvent debtors" and consequently the property (including separate property) of both spouses is available to creditors. The lnsolvency Act, as opposed to the Matrimonial Property Act, makes no provision for the recognition or sequestration of 'separate property". Although an estate is sequestrated, it is the debtor who is insolvent. A debtor (married in community of property) who possesses "separate property" is on sequestration of the joint estate insolvent in relation to both his or her undivided interest in the joint estate as well as any "separate property". But is this correct? Ample provision is made by various statutes for the exclusion of certain property from an insolvent estate. Does this not mean that a debtor might be insolvent in relation to one estate and not insolvent in relation to the other? The estate of a partnership is, for purposes of sequestration, deemed to be a separate entity from the partners' private estates. Where the partnership fails, creditors first have recourse against the estate of the partnership where after any shortfall may be claimed from the private estates of the partners. Although the estates of partners are sequestrated simultaneously with the estate of the partnership, creditors of the partnership may not proof their claims against the estate of a partner and vice versa. Is it just and equitable that a spouse who owns separate property is treated differently from a partner who does not possess a separate estate in law from the partnership estate? A partner only has one estate - a private estate that includes his or her interest in the partnership. It is concluded that despite the judgment of the Supreme Court of Appeal in Du Plessis v Pienaar, a sense of dissatisfaction still prevails regarding the status of separate property. It is furthermore suggested that in view of the lack of provisions in the insolvency Act regarding separately owned property, the said Act be amended to provide for the specific exclusion of separate property from an insolvent joint estate. It is more advisable to provide for the exclusion of separate property from the insolvent joint estate than to provide for the simultaneous sequestration thereof. / Thesis (LL.M.

In the new configurations, the constitution element is not only from biological and civil ties, but mainly from the affectivity. In this dissertation, we intend to analyze the disruptions and/or the institutional continuities of religious discourses in the historic Protestantism, spe-cifically in the Methodist and Lutheran Churches, about divorces and remarriages. Through documentary analysis and field research, we aim to identify what impact the new family con-figurations have on the institutional discourse and the ecclesial practice. Our goal is to identify how the religious institutional placement and practice of faith communities are coherent or dissonant before the transformations experienced by the family institution nowadays. The documents used for the analyzes were: the pastorals, official journals, minutes, and other doc-uments that were surveyed in the collections of the UMESP library and the Lutherans Portal. The field research was conducted through questionnaires and interviews to religious volun-teers in the city of Ferraz de Vasconcelos at the Methodist and Lutheran Churches. Through documentary analysis and field research, we seek to identify the impact that the new family configurations caused on the institutional discourse and the ecclesial practice. / Na contemporaneidade, a família tradicional (pai, mãe, filhos) passou por mudanças de paradigmas, gerando novas configurações familiares, mais flexíveis e plurais. Nas novas configurações, o elemento de constituição não é só a partir dos laços de parentesco de nature-za biológica e civil, mas, principalmente, o da afetividade. Nesta dissertação, analisamos as rupturas e/ou continuidades dos discursos institucionais religiosos no protestantismo histórico, mais especificamente nas Igrejas Metodista e Luterana, acerca dos divórcios e novos casa-mentos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi o de identificar em que medida o posicionamento institu-cional religioso e a prática das comunidades de fé são coerentes e/ou dissonantes em relação às transformações experimentadas pela instituição família na contemporaneidade. Os docu-mentos utilizados para as análises foram: pastorais, jornais oficiais, atas, e demais documentos que foram pesquisados nos acervos da biblioteca da UMESP e no Portal Luteranos. A pesqui-sa de campo foi realizada através da aplicação de questionários e entrevistas aos sujeitos reli-giosos no município de Ferraz de Vasconcelos, nas Igrejas Metodista e Luterana. Através da análise documental e da pesquisa de campo, buscamos identificar o impacto que as novas con-figurações familiares causaram sobre o discurso institucional e sobre a prática eclesial.

La recherche en anthropologie biodémographique effectuée sur les communautés de Chiomonte(Haute Vallée de Suse), de 1670 à 1929, et de L’Argentière-la-Bessée (Hautes-Alpes), de 1690 à1889, a permis d’analyser les changements survenus tout au long de ces siècles pour ces deux pays.L’analyse des naissances a permis d’avoir un tableau général des deux populations, pouvant êtreinterprété tant au niveau biologique-démographique qu’au niveau économique-culturel.L’analyse des décès a mis en évidence l’importance des facteurs environnementaux sur l’évolutionde la mortalité, même si l’on peut reconnaître que, grâce à l’amélioration des conditions de vie, il ya eu une diminution du taux de mortalité infantile et infanto-juvénile ainsi qu’une augmentationprogressive des décès des personnes âgées.La culture, la société, l’économie et la religion sont les facteurs les plus importants qui influencentle comportement matrimonial; mais l’environnement aussi a joué un rôle important.La reconstruction des familles de Chiomonte nous a permis de constater que les changements auniveau économique et social qui se sont produits entre 1670 et 1830 ont eu des répercussions,quoique de manière différente, sur les aspects relatifs à la structure et à la descendance des familles.L’augmentation de la duré de la vie a produit une augmentation de la durée des mariages et ladécroissance de la mortalité infantile a déterminé un accroissement du nombre d’enfants quiatteignent l’âge reproductif. Restent, par contre, relativement constants l’âge des conjoints à leurpremier mariage, le nombre d’enfants l’intervalle protogénésique ainsi que l’intervalleintergénésique. / The research on biodemographical anthropology worked out on the community of Chiomonte(Haute Vallée de Suse), from 1670 to 1929, and of L’Argentière-la-Bessée (Hautes-Alpes), from1690 to 1889, has allowed the analysis of the changes in the periods considered in these twocountries.The analysis of births has worked out an overall view of the two populations both from a biologicdemographicperspective and from and economic-cultural one.The analysis of deaths has highlighted the importance of environmental factors on death, although ithas been possible to define that through better conditions of life, infantile and juvenile mortality ratecould decreased as well as old aged people mortality increased.Culture, society, economy and religion are the main factors which influenced marriage behaviors ;also environment played an important role.Families’ reconstructions in Chiomonte enabled us to understand that economical changes whichoccurred from 1670 and 1830 had different consequences on the structure and the lineage of thefamily. The increase of life time led to an increase of marriages and at the same time the decrease ofinfantile mortality determined the rise of children who reached the reproductive age.On the other hand, the age of partners at their first marriage, the number of children, theprotogenesic and intergenesic intervals remain constant.
